ishq-e-butaan kaa le ke sahaaraa kabhi kabhi — Arsh Malsiyani

jitni vo mire haal pe karte hain jafaaein
aataa hai mujhe un ki mohabbat kaa yaqin aur

mohabbat soz bhi hai saaz bhi hai
khamoshi bhi hai ye aavaaz bhi hai

maut hi insaan ki dushman nahin
zindagi bhi jaan le kar jaaegi

ik raushni si dil mein thi vo bhi nahin rahi
vo kyaa gae charaagh-e-tamannaa bujhaa gae

khushk baaton mein kahaan hai shaikh kaif-e-zindagi
vo to pi kar hi milegaa jo mazaa piine mein hai

saaqi miri khamosh-mizaaji ki laaj rakh
iqraar gar nahin hai to inkaar bhi nahin

bil-aakhir thak haar ke yaaro ham ne bhi taslim kiyaa
apni zaat se ishq hai sachchaa baaqi sab afsaane hain

shama bujh kar rah gai parvaana jal kar rah gayaa
yaadgaar-e-husn-o-ishq ik daagh dil par rah gayaa

na paak hogaa kabhi husn o ishq kaa jhagDaa
vo qissa hai ye ki jis kaa koi gavaah nahin

sabhi se jab mohabbat chaahte ho
mohabbat kyon nahin karte sabhi se

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

dil-e-haris hi apnaa na ho sakaa qaane
vagarna tere karam mein to kuchh kami na rahi
